The Little Mermaid, directed by Rob Marshall, opens in theaters nationwide on May 26, 2023. Keeper of the Void has the four wings that are based on the hollow forms, and the Crucible is divided into four sets featuring enemies from the areas you have already explored. It's clear that you're supposed to be playing the DLC alongside the story. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land, but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy. This is what happens when developers/publishers release unfinished games. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters, and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea, and while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric.
The Little Mermaid is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The film stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, Daveed Diggs as the voice of Sebastian, Jacob Tremblay as the voice of Flounder, Awkwafina as the voice of Scuttle, Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric, Art Malik as Sir Grimsby, Noma Dumezweni as Queen Selina, Javier Bardem as King Triton, and Melissa McCarthy as Ursula. Recommended, but go in aware.Check out the teaser trailer for The Little Mermaid, the upcoming live-action reimagining of the animated musical classic. Ultimately, this is a solid enough port that remains great fun to play, but I can’t turn a blind eye to the constant freezing and drops in frame rate. The Deathinitive Edition comes with all the DLC included, so in the latter half of the game you can spend time in the Crucible arena slaying demons, monsters and fallen angels for some cool, unique loot and a welcome challenge. Mix in Death’s handcannon, Redemption, and his steed Despair (who can be summoned much more often than War could summon Ruin), and Death has a killer arsenal of weapons and skills that feels hugely satisfying to build and utilise. The Metroidvania-like structure works as well here as in the previous game, and backtracking never feels a chore because you’re always looting new weapons and armour, and the combat is so much fun.ĭeath’s primary weapons are the dual scythes, but you can equip axes, hammers, claws and blades to use as a secondary weapon, allowing for mixed combos and a variety of special attacks that make combat a cathartic thrill. Throwing Death around the environment is super satisfying, scaling walls and swinging across chasms. Luckily, the game is incredibly playable. I’m all for making concessions for a port, but this is already a fairly old game and we’ve got ports of things like Diablo 3 and more recently The Sinking City with almost zero issues. In fact, the frame rate can be pretty inconsistent altogether. I wouldn’t go so far as to say that it ruins the experience, but it certainly mars it. A little longer flickering lightning damage effect which inflicts damage overtime and has a chance to stun enemies, leaving them vulnerable for 2/3 seconds. With the best will in the world, its difficult to ignore, as it takes you out of the action every single it happens. Transposed to the Switch, Darksiders 2 loses almost nothing visually and flows fast and, for the most part, smooth, but there is noticeable freezing at times when the frame rate literally slams to a halt for a second and you wonder if it’s crashed. The story and writing are exceptional throughout, as is the voice acting although Mark Hamill’s Watcher from the first game will forever be missed. While the first game had elements of Zelda and Soul Reaver baked into its chewy, delicious crust, Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition maintains the core tenets but adds in a bevy of RPG mechanics such as equippable loot and skill trees. It tells the story of the Horseman Death (voiced by the inimitable Michael Wincott) who sets out to clear his brother’s name in a sequence of events that precedes and overlaps the timeline of the first Darksiders game.
Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition originally scored 9/10 on Xbox One in 2015.ĭespite having a title that sounds like you’re saying it wrong no matter how carefully you pronounce it, Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition is a decent enough port of a cracking game let down by some very iffy performance.
